Topic chosen: “Indoor Air Pollution”
Describe the activity that you carried out:
In order to proceed with analysis of Indoor Air pollution have chosen my home in addition to neighbours’ home for data collection of pollutants on average with help of literatures. The pollutants vary in concentrations from one home to other if a person is food lover, he/she cooks more food which results in pollution from flame & ingredient (VOC) used for cooking which varies from pollutants from smokers’ room. Hence spent time in surveying home with permission for collection of data and feedback for Indoor Air Pollution task.

What was the environmental significance of this project?
The data collection steps in different house helped to visualize the carbon foot print generated by each individual which varies a lot among each member in the family as each having their individual choice of lifestyle. Even the person choice of food is contributing significant footprint to the environment,
